Technical Specifications and Features

The TA2493 tie rod end features a coated black finish that protects against rust and wear. It is pre-greased for immediate installation and long-lasting lubrication, although it does not include a grease fitting. The dust boot, made from durable chloroprene rubber, helps prevent contaminants from entering the joint. Both ends have threaded studs with female and male configurations, each with a clockwise thread direction. The steel housing and tie rod material provide strength and durability, while the polyoxymethylen (POM) bearing material supports smooth operation. This adjustable, straight-type tie rod end measures 37.0 mm in width and 70.0 mm in height, with stud lengths and thread diameters optimized for Suzuki models.

Application and Common Issues Addressed

• Restores precise steering response on Suzuki Grand Vitara, SX4, and SX4 Crossover
• Eliminates steering play caused by worn or damaged tie rod ends
• Prevents uneven tire wear due to misaligned steering components

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Delphi TA2493 tie rod end requires proper alignment to maintain steering accuracy. The part comes with mounting hardware for convenience. Since the tie rod end is pre-greased and does not include a grease fitting, no additional lubrication is necessary during installation. Ensure that the thread directions (clockwise for both ends) are matched correctly to avoid cross-threading. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to optimize vehicle handling and tire life.
